Chapter 906: Spread the word
The first devout believers to arrive were to Runeterra City through the teleportation array, and then rushed to the three forks through the post station; After that, a large number of devout believers traveled the long way, first to Iron Boots City or Golden King City or Rapidwater Harbor, and then to find a way to get to Runerue City.
Because of the preparation in advance, the sudden surge in traffic did not cause much trouble, and the major taverns in the city cleaned all the rooms early and prepared all kinds of ingredients and drinks.
Outside the Druid Temple, more than 500 field tents were spread out for the devout who came to worship for a temporary rest.
Medu also transferred all the cooks from the Lord's Mansion and set up a makeshift canteen outside the temple, so that if some of the devout did not want to go to the tavern at the outpost, they could enjoy delicious food outside.
At this time, the three forks can be said to be heavily armed, with hundreds of wind elementals patrolling back and forth overhead, four cavalry patrols that have just been drawn from the surrounding areas on the periphery, and the vicinity of the temple is heavily guarded by dwarven guards, each of them fully armed and ready for battle.
These arrangements were meant to deter those who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and most of the eyes of the devout Elona were on the small elven tree and the group of forest dryads standing around it.
"Oh my God! That's not, that's not ......" A young forest druid stammered a little excitedly, pointing at the dryad.
"Yes, yes, you read that right! It's the Forest Dryad! I always thought that these creatures had been taken captive by the dragon as slaves, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see them in this life...... Woo woo......" an old man next to him choked up.
"Rune City...... With the Elven Tree and the Forest Dryad, by the way, did you see it when you came? The thing that flew above Runeterra ......"
"Since the goddess has acknowledged this, there must be her reasons, the Elven Tree is the only way out for the continuation of the ancient elves, and the only way for us to follow the path of the ancient druids, just by virtue of this, this place is also worthy of the name of the Holy Land."
"yes...... Teacher, are we really going to settle here in the future? The young druid's tone was full of wistfulness.
"Why not? In a place closer to the goddess of the forest, our practice will go more smoothly. ”
"But all our money is spent on teleportation fees, and the temple will take us in for free?"
Hearing this, the old man in the druid robe laughed and touched the young man's head: "Of course not, but we don't have money, we have hands~ Originally, hearsay could not be trusted, but now that I have seen Rune City with my own eyes, I am sure that this is a place with great potential." ”
The young druid looked ignorant, as if he didn't understand.
……
A similar scene played out all over the temple, with devotees from far and wide lining up outside, waiting to see the relics in the temple and get a closer look at the Elven Tree.
At the same time, everything in Runetimes City left an extremely deep impression on these people.
The neat streets, the unbelievably safe wild roads, the complete facilities, especially when everyone falls, they will more or less definitely pass through the trade roads, along the way one after another horse-drawn carriages come and go, the wheels roll on the solid road, so that everyone has an inexplicable more vitality in their hearts.
The followers of Alona have little contact with trade, but the insight of these followers of the goddess of the forest is also superhuman.
Just after noon, more than 5 NPCs at the city lord level came to ask Windsor if they could let their followers practice here for a period of time and bask in the glory of the goddess as much as possible.
Thinking of Lu Kuan's previous instructions, Windsor responded very decently: "The temple at the three-way entrance is open to all Alona believers, and we treat them equally, but before that, you should first understand the usual training and trial system of Rune City, and then make a decision." ”
Visitors have no opinion on Windsor's statement, after all, it is on other people's territory, and the rules still have to be understood.
Next, it was logical that under the guidance of a special person assigned by Medu, several of the highest-ranking NPCs among the visitors, plus representatives of 10 ordinary believers, formed a temporary group and went to the three forks and Runerus City for a brief round.
“…… Our guards rotate in two shifts, with one group on duty, the other resting, and the rest of the guards conducting daily training. ”
"Training every day?" Someone in the visiting team asked curiously.
The person who was responsible for leading the team to visit was the captain of the assassin team in Rune City, Flea, hearing the other party's question, Flea smiled and said: "Yes, every day, the city guards train for no less than 6 hours, and the merchant cavalry team is not less than 3 hours a day, and there are fewer guards at each outpost, but they also have to train twice a day in the morning and afternoon, and if they are less than one day, the person in charge will be punished." ”
With the introduction of the flea smile, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and several city lords looked at each other, but they looked a little disbelieving.
It's easy to move your mouth, but it's much harder to get to the ground.
Not to mention anything else, such a hard training, everyone can understand that the spirit of the Rune City army is cohesive, after all, Rune City has only been rebuilt for half a year, and it is the time when morale is high.
But what about after training?
If you want to increase your strength, you can't just practice, you must always have logistical support, practice for a day and be tired, and then only eat some green vegetables and bean cakes, even if you train people to death, the strength of the army will not be improved.
The flea saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he pointed to the side and said politely: "The barracks at the fork are on the other side of the wall, let's go and see?" ”
Naturally, everyone had no opinion, and the fleas in front of them greeted the guards of the barracks and walked into the gate with a mighty group of people.
The barracks at the three forks are not small, with only a little more than a hundred permanent guards, but the cavalry patrolling the north and south often assemble here to rest, and those druids who are officially incorporated into the Runeterra will also leave the temple when they are on duty and come here to rest and train according to the regulations.
So as soon as I entered the gate, on a dry grass on the left, seven or eight druids were sitting together, and an elven druid mentor in the middle was explaining something, with a white light flashing in his hand, demonstrating the use of basic healing spells;
Directly ahead, a team of five cavalry lined up in a row for a short sprint, the distance of fifty meters is not enough for the war horse to run, and at the end of the line, he must immediately turn around, and quickly turn the horse's head around him without affecting the comrades next to him, and carry out a second charge.
And so on, after completing two round trips, the next team will pick up immediately, and there will be a special person next to the timer, it seems that the action is slow or there is a mistake, and there are penalties.
If there was some contempt before, then seeing the scene in front of them, everyone's expressions became solemn.
